Hi Mel

Glad you all had a good time  - the weather forecast was wrong as usual  :)  Look forward to meeting you all at the next one.

Can't wait to see the pics and read what funny things may have happened to you all! ;D

Hope you all arrived home safely 'cause we had about 4 inches of snow overnight.

I will definitely make sure I'm available for the next Meet.

Congratulations on your organisational powers, Mel.

Hi all and well done Mel for a pleasurable Meet  :)
     It was great to meet such nice interesting people and next time will make sure that it's for the full duration, the time just flew by.
     I couldn't believe that i was the only Brummie there (did it show  ::) will have to check passports next time incase there's any undesirables  :P
     Hope the trip up Brindley Place went well and no one ended up in the cut!
 
    Don't think the weather could have been better, will post a pic of that floozy keeping a watchfull eye over the local council building, the sky realy was that blue.
    Am ashamed to say that was my first visit to the Museum and Art Gallery  :-[ as kids we were always taken to the Museum of Science and Industry in Loveday Street (near the BT tower) which i think has now become the "Think Tank" in Digbeth. It would take a couple of days to see everything properly but it was very enjoyable.
    Once again thanks Mel and thanks to everyone for a pleasant time,

    Best Wishes, Tony

Tony wrote Museum of Science and Industry in Loveday Street (near the BT tower)

I think you will find it was Newhall Street.
